Who is At Risk of Being a Victim of IKEA Furniture Tipping?

Most injuries of a tipping piece of furniture occur with children, many of whom are under the age of seven. This is because of their short stature, and the need to hold onto the furniture when reaching for an object. During this time, the child is not thinking of the possibility of the heavy piece of furniture tipping. Because of the dense furniture, many children are not able to lift the dressers or chests off of themselves, leading to suffocation. However, this can also affect anyone of any age, as many pieces of furniture are very heavy, and take two people to move.

“Please immediately stop using any recalled chest or dresser that is not properly anchored to the wall and place in an area not accessible to children.” – IKEA Recall Post

What is the CPSC Doing to Correct This?

The CPSC acknowledges that there are more than approximately 43,000 reported tip-over injuries each year, with more than 25,000 involving children. To help prevent the ability of the dressers from tipping, the CPSC has begun to offer free wall anchoring kits. These kits help reduce the chances of the tipping, while hoping to save lives.
